Over the years, our server has been racking up costs, and the now-unsupported software it was running on finally gave out.

All online services have now been migrated into permanent offline features. We made sure nothing was lost.

  • The Level Editor now saves levels directly to your disk […]
  • All community-created levels […]
  • All-time high scores have been immortalized […]
  • New high scores are saved locally […]

The game Dual Snake on Steam is free and was released in 2018.

Much respect to the devs for doing their best to transition actively to end-of-life and port functionality to the offline mode :)

    Great to see the migration investment, and to this extent.

    You cut out the crazy bit about community-created levels:

    All community-created levels that were ever uploaded are now bundled with the game. You can access this massive library of content from the Custom menu (formerly Online).

    And this is the kind of things we wanted with the Stop Killing Games initiative, high respect for this dev
